0007 Christmas At Guantanamo Bay

and yeah, I ate too much
but this dream
a guy in a red suit
came from a nowhere sorta somewhere
right on midnight unlocked the gates
and I guess magicked the shackles off



they streamed out the gates
except for some who felt
the company was better inside than outside



one guy mugged for the first cellphone he could
then didn’t know how to use it



most of the guys went for a woman, women,
but some changed their minds
when it came to it



some just knelt and prayed



some asked the way to the nearest mosque



some spat at everyone they saw
until they ran out of spit



one or two just smiled at everyone
even got a few smiles back cautious like



as they spread out I had a problem
which one to follow
which one would tell me most
by their actions
about truth and justice and stuff



then I woke up of course
